I don’t get “outraged” much, but I’m at a loss here. Really, all I can offer is a sigh followed by an outburst of anger: The Supreme Court on Wednesday outlawed executions of people convicted of raping a child. In a 5-4 vote, the court said the Louisiana law allowing the death penalty to be [...]

The Bush Legacy? Forcing Those Who Hate Him to Stomp a Huge Carbon Footprint
Filed Under Current Events, Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
The “Bush Legacy Tour” got underway on Monday. This is where some Bush haters are traveling the country freely, saying whatever they want and spewing a bunch of bus exhaust into the air every day for almost four months so they can go around telling people how oppressive to our freedoms and bad for the [...]

Hillary returned to Capitol Hill to start her push for the Vice Presidency — I mean, to serve New Yorkers — and was welcomed back by the “pre-owned vehicle salesman” of politics, Sen. Charles Schumer, who was so excited he didn’t wait for “Triple-L” (liberal, lesbian, leprechaun), Sen. Barbara Mikulski, to get out of the [...]

How much more money does Hollywood donate to Democrats than Republicans? Here’s some idea: An analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics, based on fundraising data released May 21, found Obama had collected more than $4 million from movie, TV and music businesses during the campaign. Clinton had received $3.4 million. McCain’s take: $636,000. Hey, [...]

Is Bill Dating Again?

I’m no photo analyst, but this picture released by the Edmonton Sun, purportedly showing Bill Clinton holding hands with some woman, looks very suspect: Don’t get me wrong — it’s plausible (Bill goes up north a lot these days because a Canuck court recently ruled, under the Canadian Constitution, that “eatin’ ain’t cheatin’”) — but [...]

George Carlin, RIP
Filed Under Current Events | Leave a Comment
Seems like I’ve had too many “RIP” posts lately, but here’s another for the pile. George Carlin died of heart failure in L.A. Carlin was an atheist, and as a result often mocked things I believe in, so all I can say is that if I was right and he was wrong and George lost [...]

Monday’s Column: Drilling for New Taxes
Filed Under Current Events, Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
Today’s column at WorldNetDaily is about domestic oil drilling — or lack thereof — along with alternative fuels, and how Obama’s or McCain’s energy policies are going to be merely fronts for drilling into our paychecks. Give a read to “Drilling for new taxes” for the story. You can give it a “Digg” here. We [...]

The Fright Stuff

China and India, both nuclear powers, are now engaged in a “space race.” Something leads me to believe that this can’t end well. China got one step closer to its ultimate goal of putting dissidents on Mars when they put their first person into orbit in 2003. But now India says they plan to beat [...]

Obama: (Snake) Oil Salesman
Filed Under Current Events, Politics, Science & Nature | Leave a Comment
There are three certainties in life: Death, taxes, and democrats playing to the lowest common denominator: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday criticized a Republican proposal to lift a ban on oil drilling off the Florida coast, saying it would take at least 10 years for that to offer motorists relief at the pump.
